Success Story 🐾
We’ve had a lovely update from Sir Otis Peanuts' new family letting us know how he is getting on in his new home 💕
“We adopted Otis on the 12th of December when he was just 8 weeks old. He had been surrendered to the shelter, and we were only supposed to foster him for one night. But oh, how quickly our family fell in love with him!
Taking on a puppy again was a wonderful experience, from remembering how to toilet train to managing the antics of this mischievous little pup. Otis was incredibly clever and picked things up so quickly. Being able to take him to puppy classes and watching him pass was one of the highlights of our journey together. He has also begun his agility starter classes as well!
Now aged 9 months, he has grown into a very handsome young boy. He loves exploring the sand dunes, wandering through the woods, and zooming around open fields as if he’s on an important mission. He is also learning to enjoy having his teeth brushed and being groomed, especially when plenty of treats are involved!
Otis has made lots of doggy friends along the way, ranging from a Sprocker Spaniel to a Golden Retriever, and even a Saluki Greyhound. He seems to think every dog he meets is a potential best friend. Recently, we decided to do a DNA test to finally settle the family debate about what breed he might be. We knew he wasn’t just a full Pomeranian, but nobody could quite agree on what else was in the mix. To our surprise, the results showed that he has two different types of Spitz in him, which actually explains a lot, especially his longer nose compared to the typical teddy-bear Pomeranian look. We also discovered he has a tiny percentage of Chihuahua in him… thankfully only 3%!
Our family couldn’t be happier. Otis is like our own child now, complete with the occasional woof-filled backchat when he disagrees with our decisions. He fills our days with laughter, love, and plenty of adventures, and we truly can’t imagine life without him.
A huge thank you to all the staff, behaviourists, and the veterinary team for everything they do. Your dedication, care, and support helped bring Otis into our lives, and we will always be grateful.
With love,
Sir Otis Peanuts and family ❤️🐾”
